1 Peter 1:20-25

Common English Bible CEB

20 Christ was chosen before the creation of the world, but was only revealed at the end of time. This was done for you,

21 who through Christ are faithful to the God who raised him from the dead and gave him glory. So now, your faith and hope should rest in God.

22 As you set yourselves apart by your obedience to the truth so that you might have genuine affection for your fellow believers, love each other deeply and earnestly.

23 Do this because you have been given new birth—not from the type of seed that decays but from seed that doesn't. This seed is God's life-giving and enduring word.

24 Thus, All human life on the earth is like grass, and all human glory is like a flower in a field. The grass dries up and its flower falls off,

25 but the Lord's word endures forever. This is the word that was proclaimed to you as good news.

New International Version NIV

20 He was chosen before the creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.

21 Through him you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and glorified him, and so your faith and hope are in God.

22 Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for each other, love one another deeply, from the heart.

23 For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God.

24 For, “All people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall,

25 but the word of the Lord endures forever.”And this is the word that was preached to you.
